The Cayley transform of the closed upper half-plane #
The Cayley transform z ↦ (z - i) / (z + i) carries the open upper half-plane bijectively onto the
open unit disc, and the closed upper half-plane {z | 0 ≤ z.im} bijectively onto the closed unit
disc with the point 1 removed; the missing point 1 is the limit of the transform at infinity.
This file records these facts for the transform as a map ℂ → ℂ, so that a statement about maps
continuous on the closed unit disc and holomorphic inside it can be transported to the closed upper
half-plane. The open-half-plane restriction, centred at an arbitrary point of ℍ, is
UpperHalfPlane.discCoordinate.
